Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 187
Zhao Wuming walked out of the hall angrily, but suddenly heard footsteps, thought it was Zhao Yu, so he didn't stop.

"Why is my uncle so angry?"Zhao Yong's voice came, he just left and thought of his grandmother, so he turned around and went to the harem.Then he brought the Queen Mother to visit Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming stopped his footsteps, looked at Zhao Yong, and saw the Queen Mother hurriedly saluted respectfully: "I have seen the Queen Mother."

"Are you brothers fighting?"The Empress Dowager looked Zhao Wuming up and down, saw him frowning and asked him.

Hearing the concerned voice, most of Zhao Wuming's anger subsided.Thinking of the appearance just now, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, I don't know why I was so impulsive in front of Zhao Yu.Maybe it's because the relationship between the two is so good, so I don't want to hide it in my heart: "It's just a disagreement, not angry".

"Where can I sit in this palace if I don't go to Ai's house? If it weren't for Yong'er's words, Ai's family would have thought that you were thanking guests behind closed doors in the mansion, and planned not to step out of the mansion in this life."The Queen Mother looked at Zhao Wuming with displeasure.

Zhao Wuming smiled awkwardly, and quickly explained: "The Queen Mother calms down, I'm too busy during this period, I forgot to go to the palace to pay my respects, please forgive me."

"Do you know the future? Forget it, the Ai family doesn't want to ask too much. If you want to come to the Ai family's palace, if you don't, just go."After the queen mother finished speaking, she took Zhao Yong, Xue Zimo and the maids and turned around and walked towards the harem.

Zhao Wuming was stunned on the spot, and then he realized that he was about to chase after him when he heard the Queen Mother's voice: "If you come, go and call the king, and the Ai family will ask, what caused the gap between the two of you brothers?" ".

Listening to the order, Zhao Wuming could only look at Huang Hao who was standing outside the hall, looking at his heart with his nose and eyes.

Although Huang Hao knew that Zhao Wuming was looking at him, he didn't dare to make a sound and just pretended not to know.

Zhao Wuming smiled helplessly, and could only walk towards the main hall here.

"Since the fourth brother has gone and returned, let's sit down."Seeing Zhao Wuming approaching, Zhao Yu was a little surprised.

Zhao Wuming bowed to Zhao Yu: "I was a little impulsive just now, please don't blame me, brother."

"It's my brother's fault just now, let's put this matter aside for the time being, let the widow think about it."Zhao Yu quickly stood up and saluted Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming thought of the Queen Mother's order, and said to Zhao Yu: "I just met the Queen Mother outside, and the Queen Mother asked us to go there together."

"Since it is the words of the queen mother, as a brother, I will go with you."Zhao Yu was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized, no wonder Zhao Wuming would go and come back.

The two walked out of the hall together and walked towards the harem.

The Empress Dowager's bedroom, Zhao Yu and Zhao Wuming walked into the palace, and the maids in the palace saluted one after another.Zhao Yong and Xue Zimo bowed respectfully to Zhao Yu: "Father, Your Majesty."

"Zhao Wuming and Zhao Yu met the queen mother."Looking at the empress dowager sitting on the main seat, the two bowed at the same time.

The Empress Dowager looked at the two people saluting respectfully, and her face gradually sank: "Since you are here, please sit down first."

"yes".Zhao Wuming and Zhao Yu looked at the Empress Dowager's face, glanced at each other, and sat on the seats on the left and right.

Seeing that the two sat down, the Queen Mother looked at Zhao Wuming and Zhao Yu very displeasedly: "Tell me, what is it that caused a gap between the two of you brothers?".

"It's all because of Lin Hu and Lou Fan's affairs that were reported to the mother."Zhao Yu carefully explained to the Queen Mother.

The queen mother showed a puzzled look, her eyes full of doubts: "Why is there a gap because of a foreign race?".

Just as Zhao Yu wanted to explain, he suddenly thought of something and looked at the maids, Zhao Yong and Xue Zimo.

The queen mother understood, and told Zhao Yong: "Go down."

"Follow the order".Zhao Yong, Xue Zimo and the maids bowed to receive the order, turned around and walked out of the hall.

Zhao Yu watched them walk away, and explained to the queen mother: "The state is in critical condition. In order to quell the domestic chaos as soon as possible, I can only use foreign aid to help. Looking at the world today, only Lin Hu and Lou Fan can borrow their strength, so this minister Send the envoys of the two races to come."

"Mother and Empress Ming learned that the Loufan and Linhu tribes are extremely cruel, and the people in the north are often captured. If they go south in large numbers, how much misery they will bring to the people."Zhao Wuming expressed his opinion to the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager looked at the two, her gloomy expression gradually returned to normal: "So it's because of your political disagreement? Since it's a political opinion, the two brothers can discuss it slowly, so why leave in a huff."

"What the mother taught me was that it was the son who made the mistake."Zhao Wuming respectfully admitted his mistake to the Queen Mother.

Zhao Yu also quickly confessed his mistake to the Queen Mother: "It's also my fault that I spoke too aggressively, and I will never do it again in the future."

"The Ai family is very curious, what is it that makes the king think that only Lin Hu and Lou Fan can rely on the power of this world. Although the Ai family does not ask about political affairs, this matter is related to your brotherhood, so I would like to ask clearly." .The queen mother watched the two admit their mistakes, and continued to ask them.

Zhao Yu organized his words in his mind, and replied respectfully to the queen mother: "There is news that the third brother has a close relationship in Daijun and Zhongshan Kingdom, and there is no threat to the south of Daijun. Once the third brother raises troops, 40 Thousands of troops went south to Handan, and it was difficult to stop it with only [-] soldiers from Handan. Today, all countries in the world have their own affairs. For the current plan, we can only turn to Loufan in the north to survive this catastrophe."

"It's strange. When you have a dispute in your own family and let outsiders judge right and wrong, you are not afraid of complaints from the elders."The queen mother asked Zhao Yu, obviously there was something in her words.

Zhao Yu heard what the queen mother meant, and explained to her: "The public family has already stated that they will not participate in this matter, otherwise why would the minister turn to those foreign families for help?"

"The third son secretly colluded with the Zhongshan Kingdom, but you contacted Lou Fan. The two of you played a wonderful move, which opened the eyes of the Ai family. No matter what the result was at that time, you would throw your own things to those foreigners. This prodigal technique is really powerful."Although the Empress Dowager did not show an angry face, she did not hide the anger in her words.

On the contrary, Zhao Wuming persuaded the queen mother: "The queen mother calms down, the eldest brother has not made a formal decision yet."

"The envoys from Lou Fan and Lin Hu have already arrived in Handan. Could it be that Yu'er really hasn't made a decision? Ai Jia just hasn't figured out which piece of meat he should give to Lou Fan and Hu. Lin Hu is nothing."The empress dowager's anger was not concealed at this time, and she angrily reprimanded Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu hurriedly explained: "Mother Mingjian, once Lou Fan promises to the third younger brother that he will not go south, then the third younger brother will definitely raise troops. At that time, with the 40 soldiers and horses in the hands of the ministers, how can they resist the [-] elites of Daijun?"

"Confused, is there only one hundred thousand soldiers and horses in the country of Zhao that I promise to be big?".The Empress Dowager scolded Zhao Yu as if she hated iron for being weak.

Zhao Yu stood up, knelt down on the ground facing the queen mother, and continued to explain: "The queen mother is calm, although our country has soldiers, but my son has none in his hands."

"You are the king, and the clan is the clan of our country. If they don't want to, can't you force them to go?".Looking at Zhao Yu who was kneeling on the ground, the Queen Mother softened her heart and reminded Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu was taken aback for a moment, not knowing how to answer.Although I am a great king, after all, I have not been on the throne for a long time, and my foundation is not deep.How dare they force the Gong clan to fight Zhao Fan.

The Empress Dowager's tone slowed down a bit. It seemed that her son's method was still a little immature, so she could only point it out: "Ai's memory is correct, is the post of Commander of the Imperial Army still vacant?"

"Since Shen Tuxiu was put to death, the [-] forbidden army has not yet been commanded."Zhao Yu looked up at the Queen Mother. Although he didn't know why he asked this suddenly, he still replied respectfully.

The queen mother thought for a while, and looked at Zhao Yu who was kneeling: "It's not proper for a king to kneel on the ground, get up."

"Thank you mother".Zhao Yu quickly stood up, walked back to the seat, and sat cross-legged.

Seeing that Zhao Yu was doing well, the queen mother looked around the two of them: "If you want to get the support of the public, you only need to let Zhao Zhen be the commander of the imperial army."

"Zhao Zhen".Zhao Yu repeated these two words, Mr. Xingping's eldest son.

The Empress Dowager explained to Zhao Yu: "It is rumored that this person is a more outstanding person in the next generation of the public clan. Let this person be the commander of the imperial army. Firstly, he can show his goodwill to the public clan, and secondly, this person has a personal enmity with the third son. .Once the third son raises troops to go south and asks Zhao Zhen to lead the imperial army to fight, how can Lord Xingping not move? Since Lord Xingping can move, can the Gong clan still stand by and watch? Don't forget that when Wei was killed Ma'am, do you have the share of their public clan?"

"It's true that Zhao Zhen was appointed as the commander of the imperial army. Why didn't I think of it?"Zhao Yu seemed to be completely transparent for a moment. After sweeping away the worries during this period, he couldn't help but feel refreshed.

Seeing Zhao Yu's excited expression, the Queen Mother couldn't help smiling, and asked him, "I wonder if Your Majesty still wants to use the power of Lou Fan and Lin Hu at this time?".

"If it is not a last resort, how can you turn to the disgusting barbarian for help? The queen mother is assured that the son knows what to do next."Zhao Yu replied respectfully to the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager looked at Zhao Wuming, smiled at him and asked, "I wonder if Wuming will thank guests behind closed doors this time when he returns to the mansion, instead of leaving the mansion."

"How dare my son, just now, I have already met with Yong'er, riding and shooting tomorrow. As an elder, how can he break his promise and become fat in front of the younger generation."Hearing the words of thanking guests behind closed doors, Zhao Wuming was dumbfounded, and replied to the Queen Mother.

When the queen mother heard the word riding and shooting, she couldn't help but became interested: "Riding and shooting with Yong'er? If you catch prey tomorrow, please ask Wuming and Yong'er to send some to Ai's family to try."

"Wu Ming bears in mind what the queen mother said, and will send someone with Yong'er to bring the prey tomorrow."Zhao Wuming assured the Queen Mother.

The sound of footsteps interrupted what the Queen Mother was about to say.

Huang Hao bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother and Zhao Yu: "Report to the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, on behalf of Yunjun's envoy, Shen Chuan, to ask for an audience."

"Zhao Fan's envoy Shen Chuan".Zhao Wuming thought, and repeated a few sentences in a low voice.

Zhao Yu was also lost in thought, the Queen Mother looked at the two of them and then smiled: "I'm tired of mourning, please step back."

"Follow the order".Zhao Yu and Zhao Wuming stood up, bowed respectfully to the queen mother and led Huang Hao outside.

Outside the main hall, Zhao Yu looked at Zhao Wuming: "Is the fourth brother willing to meet with the third brother's envoy together with the widow to see what plan he has in mind?"

"Respect is worse than obedience".Zhao Wuming was also a little curious, and without delay, he walked forward together with Zhao Yu.
